The hacking spree targeting underground marketplaces has claimed another victim as a database from card shop Swarmshop emerged on another forum.

Details about the hack remain unknown but the leak exposes 12,344 records with nicknames, hashed passwords, contact details, activity history of Swarmshop administrators, sellers, and buyers.

According to Group-IB, the Swarmshop dump includes details from 623,036 payment cards issued by banks in the U.S., Canada, U.K., China, Singapore, France, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico.

Whoever breached Swarmshop did not give any information about the hack and just dropped a message with a link to the database.

"In total, the databased revealed the records of 4 cardshop admins, 90 sellers, and 12,250 buyers of stolen data, including their nicknames, hashed passwords, account balance, and contact details for some entries" - Group-IB.
